Bud drop...Help!!!

14 years ago

This is my first brug cutting to produce buds. The cutting of B. Rosalla was started in Oct. '09 and had 8 buds with more starting. The buds are 3-4 inches long and are dropping from the plant, no visual sign of pests. My guess is the plant is not mature enough to carry these buds. Any input as to this problem would be appreciated.

TIA, Joe

hi joe

zone 5...so the plant is indoors...is it getting lots of light,water and heat???and fertilizer???
if it were my brug..i would strip it of the the green foliage and start anew..
come spring,it should be just about ready to bloom when you put it back outside...
but that's just what i would do...
i still have all my cuttings taken in oct. in a pail of water in the basement...
the roots look like sea monsters...lol..
someone will come back with another option..
cheers and good luck...
